The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

"But would you sell it?" Luo Yan asked with a knowing smile as he looked into those muddied eyes, a mix of greed and reason.

The answer was obvious.

The Andes gave a slight nod, placing his right hand on his chest.

"The Andes Family will always be your ally. If the Colin family has any plans, please be sure to let us know, and I will spare no effort in cooperating... I can swear to Saint Sis."

Luo Yan happily accepted his gesture of goodwill, smiling and nodding as he spoke.

"I also swear to Saint Sis, our alliance would be as firm and reliable as an unchanging diamond... Actually, oaths are superfluous for us, aren't they? We've long been in the same carriage."

The Andes smiled knowingly.

"You are right."

Even without the aid of Youyou's abilities, Luo Yan could still see the earnestness and heartfelt faith on that face.

In that regard, there was no difference between him and those shareholders who became believers upon buying shares of a company.

If there had to be a difference, perhaps it was that the Colin Company truly had a share of this Mr. Andes, after all, the Demon was truly in cahoots with him.

After successfully wielding the "Light of Praise" as the Chosen One, the esteemed Lord Demon King once again seized the purse strings of the Campbell Duchy.

Now, the corrosion of the Great Graveyard truly permeates everywhere...

...

The next morning, at the Embrace of Dawn Hotel.

Finishing meditation, Luo Yan sat up from the bed and, accompanied by Sarah, headed to the hotel's restaurant to leisurely enjoy the meticulously prepared breakfast by the chef.

Along the way, everyone he met greeted him respectfully, whether hotel staff or "occasional" guests.

It was as if he were the "King" of this city.

"Good morning, esteemed Mr. Colin, I am Steven Kate, the manager of Jade Tea House and an admirer of yours, wishing you a pleasant day!" A man in formal attire placed a bowler hat against his chest, bowed respectfully, trying to impress with this gesture.

Luo Yan did not recognize the name or the face, yet he smiled and nodded, not dismissing his courtesy.

"You too, Mr. Kate, have a pleasant day."

The enthusiastic face turned bright red with excitement.

Nonetheless, he didn't get the chance to shake hands with Mr. Colin as many men and women with similar intentions swarmed in like bees drawn to nectar.

A young wealthy merchant sitting by the window hurried over with a big smile: "Mr. Colin, your auction yesterday was legendary! Allow me to express my admiration, and if you have spare time, could I have the honor of dining with you?"

On the other side of the restaurant, a noble lady with a delicate feathered hat shyly cast her gaze towards him.

As if by chance, their eyes met, and her face blushed with shyness. She gently arranged her elaborate dress and, finally gathering her courage, walked over with small steps.

"Esteemed Mr. Colin, could I have the honor to join you for afternoon tea? Of course, if it's inconvenient, I would understand..." Her voice trembled slightly, unable to hide the anticipation.

Nearby, several young ladies sat together, whispering among themselves, occasionally sneaking glances his way.

"Should we just invite Mr. Colin to next week's garden party at our place? I think if a group of ladies invites, he might feel compelled to accept," one suggested with a giggle, yet didn't stand up, just egging on her equally shy sisters.

"He's so busy; how could he agree!" Another said, yet couldn't hide the yearning on her face, quietly adding, "But I find his smile really charming. It would be wonderful if he could come..."

Rumors had it that Mr. Colin had already given his heart, and the other was esteemed Duke Campbell, but there were also whispers that nothing happened that night, and they simply admired each other.

Both rumors had their audience, the former mainly in the idle chatter of nobles and merchants, while the latter mainly among the private discussions of young ladies from wealthy families.

In truth, they were all the same; people choose to believe what they want, which just happens to be what Lord Demon King allows them to see.

The whispers of the crowd Luo Yan heard clearly, yet he paid them no mind.

He knew that the real charm was not in his smile but in the miracle created last night at the Queen's Theater... though the former was quite charming too.

Although yesterday's auction was just the primary market, most citizens did not partake in the feast, yet nearly everyone heard of the legend of wealth.

Luo Yan would share this legend with them.

After all, whether it's the legend of Flame King or Colin, it ultimately relies on people to spread.

Unlike the Lord Demon King, who nodded and smiled gracefully, Sarah silently observed the "ugly" postures of these humans, indifferent and somewhat numb.

As long as these humans don't arrogantly try to lay filthy hands on her revered Lord Demon King, she can still tolerate it.

Finally back in the hotel room, noticing Sarah's expression of tired resignation, Luo Yan chuckled and said.

"Relax, Sarah. Don't you find their expressions amusing?"

Sarah whispered.

"I just feel... they're too disrespectful to you."

Luo Yan pondered for a moment and said.

"To gain their faith, you must accept their enthusiasm. You don't need to understand, just treat their behavior as a ritual of prayer to me."

That said, the enthusiasm from Thunder City's citizens towards him recently has been a bit overwhelming.

Especially since he was soon to play the secondary market card; he would face not just the enthusiasm of the citizens of Thunder City, and relying solely on the gates of the Embrace of Dawn Hotel might not be enough.

Coincidentally, Princess Erin invited him to visit Silver Pine Town at the beginning of the month to seek the legendary Flame King, so he might as well take this opportunity to retreat temporarily.

While thinking this, a gentle knock came from the door.

Luo Yan waved the magic wand hidden in his sleeve, temporarily lifting the soundproofing spell in the room.

"Come in."

Upon his words, his first servant Punk from Thunder City stepped in from outside respectfully, bowed and said.

"Sir, I've completed what you instructed!"
